Recordist's notes

Alexander Nevsky Monastery. The Alexander Nevsky Monastery complex is home to some of the oldest buildings in the city, as well as to cemeteries which contain the graves of some of the giants of Russian culture, including Tchaikovsky, Dostoevsky, and Glinka. I love this monastery. I like to be there. The serenity and beauty come to the soul in this place. Recored with a Zoom H2.
